Re: 2014/03/14 - Armless Fun

Hm, it could be either of these, or a more likely unknown third option. It could also become a recurring joke in housepets that whenever someone says "Now there's a tale worth telling!" that they don't even know it, which could also be fun.

Re: 2014/03/14 - Armless Fun

Wait, I thought he lost his arm before they moved into the house? Or...am I crazy

While I was growing up in the late 80s/early 90s, my Parents and Aunts had this weird thing where they would say 'So whaaaaaaat's the stoooooooory?' And 'Thaaaaaat's the stoooooooory!' In this odd deliberate way. I had no idea what they were referring to until a few years ago when I found this on YouTube - http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TmZ7EyYWAZg I guess this ad was run so much that it became the 70s equivalent of a meme.

What's weird is that the main thing I took away from this strip is that the garbage disposal story actually cannot be true since his arm was severed at the shoulder.

"Woodland critters" is not exactly how I would refer to the creatures trying to kill him there...

The tale of the arm that was lost,is a fanciful one told in the night;a tale of beast and fang and war;a warning that heroes incur cost.It has nothing to do with waste disposalso ignore her with the wedding knuckledusters,She's the one with the fanciful notionsbut I'm the one that fought their evil proposal.I saved her then so she can stab me now,That's my take on the action anywayElaine will tell you different coz that's her way.To downplay me coz she's a cheeky old so.....oh, hello my love... heh, heh...To tell the truth. Love? Take a bow.

Ahhhh this reminds me of every time I tell someone the story of the scar on my right knee hat left me with a hole in my kneecap

I'll take the true version to my grave

Re: 2014/03/14 - Armless Fun

The flesh of my thumb is mangled. Nowadays when someone asks why, I inevitably reply, "I killed a man with THIS thumb." (Anyone get the reference?). It sounds much better than, "I was careless using a table saw."

The story has changed over time of course, and I am sure Jack's has as well.

And the story of Joey's and Squeek's first date, and how Peanut was adopted, and ...

now you're just teasing. X3

Man, we should totally come up with some crazy stories about his arm.

Karishad had/has a crazy-off with Kevin and Sasha sometime in the future which tore/tears a hole in the fabric of time, right where 'Eight Finger Discount' Jack was. Does it get any crazier than that?

That's pretty good, now what about an over-the-top one?

Same here, along with Grape's past.

And maybe some big adventure or anecdote about Sabrina's dad.

Another "big reveal" arc here already?

The joke here, I believe, is that neither of the stories has any basis in truth what-so-ever. She interrupted his story with another is all.

I think you're right, but still the question is which story ist better:

The epic story about the epic fight of epic Jack

or

The not so epic story about how "two arms" Jack learned not to shove his arm into the garbage disposal

.....man I can't decide it....

Re: 2014/03/14 - Armless Fun

Would be really interesting know how Jack lost his arm, but he started with a so epic story to don't sounds so real, indeed. Practically impossible lost an arm in that way... It's not nice joke on a such tragedy, Elaine, but Jack almost called for it. Bad, "Darth Vader Sanchez" isn't happy of it.For a moment I red "GRAPE" "GRAPE" written on the wall. The vacuum and the tail? Apparently Jack's tail got an accident too, despite less worse.
